We previously developed a social mechanism for distributed reputation management, in which an agent combines testimonies from several witnesses to determine its ratings of another...
The role-based access control (RBAC) has significantly simplified the management of users and permissions in computing systems. In dynamic environments, systems are usually unde...
Over the past decade we have witnessed the evolution of wireless sensor networks, with advancements in hardware design, communication protocols, resource efficiency, and other aspe...
